Clark: June 11, 1805
On a fair, windy Tuesday, the party cached supplies for the return trip, burying a keg and two canisters of powder with lead in separate spots, along with axes, an auger, planes, kegs of flour, pork, parched meal, and salt, tools, muskets, tin cups, bear and beaver skins, horns, clothing, beaver traps, and blacksmith's tools. Captain Lewis set out at 8 a.m. while Clark stayed to repair guns and finish the cache. The night turned cold and windy. The Indian woman was very ill, and Clark bled her with apparent benefit. Both rivers were rising fast.
